Washington and Georgetown are to

several amendments the bill was adopt

that all of the iron to be used in its
construction shall be American.

Kate Field Talks About "The
Men"

Miss Kate Field made little speech
after dinner given the other night
by local post of the Grand Army of
the Republic. She was asked to re-
spond to the highly original toast
"The Men" She said:
when the Commander of this gal
liant Post invited me to be present this
evening I accepted with pleasure, as
some of my dearest friends belong to
the Grand Army. But when your
Commander blandly insinuated that
he wanted me to say something l
hesitated, as there was nothing for me
to talk about, all the toasts having
been assigned to eloquent speakers.
Then it occurred to me that | might
say good word for the men, God
bless them They have So long toast
ed the women as to make it but fair
that they at last should be toasted by
a woman. They have too long had
the field to themselves. For nearly
5000 years they have been talking.
But as there is as much sex in mind
as there is in matter we have seen all
things in profile. Now, an artist will

tell you that the two sides Of the same
face are not exactly alike. I pray,
therefore, let rs have the other profile
around your campfire, whereby we
may see the entire face, gaze into the
tell-tale eyes, and thus get at the soul
of all things. Pray, who does the
greater part of speaking In private,

men as blessing in disguise. When

women are not lacking in Huency Of
diction. Indeed, it has been seriously
questioned whether women partake of
celestial joys, because once upon q
time there was silence in Heaven for
the space of half an hour. Then, IL
precedent be required, women can
trace back their oratorical privileges
much farther than men, for Eye was

in a cane-brake may seek for the best
rod until he emerges on the farther
side. So single woman may re-
spond most warmly to this toast for
the special reason that she is com
mitted to no particular type and is
held responsible for no selection. First
of oil let me assert that the one great
virtue in man loved and admired by
all womanhood is courage. In this
assembly of boys with gray beards,o
whose breasts shine the bronze stars
made out of cannon captured from the
enemy. I stand surrounded by physi-
cal courage, and if your moral courage
and your intelligence st the ballot-box
be equal to your still sturdy right
arms this Republic will be perpetual
ed and honored by the same Grand
Army-by its noble remnants at least
that saved the cause of liberty
twenty-five years ago."

Correspondence of the N. y. Observer
A few days ago ] conversed with an
Indian of tribe that was new to me.
He was Catawba, name familiar to
me only in its application to grape
fruit, of a popular variety. Upon con-
sulting an atlas, in common use hun
dred and fifty years ago,I found Cataw-
ba River, and Catawba village,in South
Cardinals northeastern border. And
there, in proximity to what was then
the southern boundary of North Car
olina, lived the small tribe of Catawba
Indians. They were peaceable, indus
trious cultiyators of the soil, and in
clined to Christianity. BY grant from
the colonial government, they occupied
twenty five square miles of territory
but, in course Of time, the whites as
usual began to encroach upon their
land without leave or license. At
length the South Carolina government
induced them to lease their fields at a
nominal rent !; but, finally, even that
satisfaction was denied them. At pres

The Giants CausewaY IS series of col
umnar basaltic rocks in County Antrim,
on the northeast coast of Ireland. For
eight miles along the coast the land abuts
on the sea. in cliffs of basalt, many Of
them made up Of rude vertical columns,
and the appearance of these columns
from the sea suggests partial resem-
blance to architectural forms. The name
Giants Causeway is often applied to all
this coast range of cliffs, but it properly
belongs to only small part of it, which
is platform of basalt in closely arranged
columns fifteen to thirty-six feet
high-which extends from steep cliff
down into the sea till it is lost below low
water mark. II is divided across its
breadth into three portions, the Little,
Middle and Grand Causeway, these being
separated from each other by bikes of
basalt. Theeolumns are generally hex
agonal prisms, but they are also found of
five, seven, eight and nine sides, in almost
every instance being fitted together with
the utmost precision, and it is said that
even water cannot penetrate between adj
joining columns. The name causeway is
given to the platform, as its columns ter
inmate at SO nearly uniform height

extending to the water, seeming to the
